...Boeing Corporation I am interested in Boeings newest aircraft which is the 787 Dreamliner. The Dreamliner is one of the largest planes flying today. There are 750 Dreamliners scheduled to be delivered in the coming years. It will also be interesting to follow this company for the remainder of the class to find out how this new airliner will compete against the Airbus and to find out how Boeing will deal with the immediate challenges of the battery problems on the Dreamliner. http://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/stories/2003/01/06/focus15.html Another reason I chose Boeing is that I would like to find out in how huge corporation can stay successful for so many years. I hope that I can take the lessons that I learn from studying Boeing and be able to apply them in my own job with the US Government. Boeing is a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange. 7.725 9.981 If you were to sell a one share of Boeing stock today, it would be worth $9.981. This is a $2.26 increase in value from one year ago. Boeing’s Future I believe will Boeing will have a successful future because it is a major aerospace manufacturer for Commercial and Military use. Boeing is well positioned for a successful future. Its backlog exceeds six years and the 2011 to 2014 shipments are expected to grow on average 15 per cent annually. Boeing. (2013, Mar 14).

...Turbulence: Boeing and the State of American Workers and Managers This is a story as much about cutting costs, avoiding failure, and raising stock value as it is about how to treat employees, their role in business decisions, and the changing employment relationship. Over ten years, Boeing employees were surveyed and interviewed, monitoring the effect of major business decisions (new ‘teams’ culture, technology, increasing roles for women, etc…). The shift by top executives to a more single-minded and short-term focus on the financial bottom line created a sense among many blue and white-collar workers alike that they are expendable resources to be used and discarded according to the calculations of distant investors and financial gurus. Overall, the effects were not positive. Thousands of workers laid off, with thousands still employed left to do even more work than before. Major Takeaways Many factors collided to create the conditions that Boeing experienced in the 90’s. However, while some factors were out of Boeing’s control (the emergence of Airbus, increased shareholder pressure, deregulation, and changing culture), how they responded to these factors is the focus of the study. Major takeaways, with each summarized below, include: • Failure of top-down decisions (new systems, technology, ‘teams’) • Irresponsible implementation of layoffs • Changing employee loyalty Failure of Top-Down Decisions In the face of changing cultural, governmental...

Boeing is listed on the NYSE and compared to their top two competitors, Lockheed Martin and Northrup Grumman, Boeing has an operating cash flow of 7.83B while both competitors total 5.31B (Yahoo Finance, 2015). This is more than double the amount of their competitors. While Boeing clearly has a higher cash flow their profit margins are not as high as both competitors (Yahoo Finance, 2015). However, Boeing has been extremely profitable but not as profitable as recorded in 2012 (Yahoo Finance, 2015). Boeing also appears to be losing market share at the present time. A 52 week range has been 116.32-158.83 and the last day’s range has been 146.01-148.37 (Yahoo Financials, 2015).

...examines The Boeing Company (BA) strategic initiatives taken in relative to the organization and operation adaptation to the developing competitive environment. Boeing operates as a global company and facing tough competition recently from Airbus, Lockheed Martin, EADS, Northrop Grumman, etc. Politics, finance, economy, and resources (to name a few) impact the global market in which Boeing operates. As a result, Boeing needs to constantly evaluate its global strategy and the tactics it uses to capture the market and maintain growth. Economic Trends Recent global events, including regional political turmoil, natural disasters, and debt crises, have affected global economic growth. While global growth is expected to recover, the risk of persistent high oil prices and debt contagion could have lasting effects on the economy (The Boeing Company, n.d.). Economic growth also could be affected by slowing trade liberalization in some regions. Reduced liberalization could prolong the recovery period, affecting the demand for air travel and new airplanes. Though recent data indicates that the global economy continues to recover, the pace of the recovery in 2011 has moderated compared to 2010. High oil prices, natural disasters (Japan earthquake) and resulting consequences in a politically unrest Middle East area pose as primary threat to a continued economy recovery. China continues to grow and outpace the world DGP growth rate compared to United States, Europe and Japan (The Boeing Company...
